1 | Do you pay tithes on whole check or part | Acts 15:1 | jlpangilinan | 64565 | ||
Part I It is you not stick in the discussion my friend, take a deep breath. I will put a review here of how it was start. You write that abraham taught us to tithe then when I asked you where abraham get his tithes and if it ok to Jesus Christ that I will take the goods of my enemies after killing them this is what response. Your answer: As for Abraham killing others and bringing back their goods. Abraham was protecting his family and yes I think Jesus would allow that. His disciples carried swords and the main reason for carrying swords is to defend yourself. Notice Jesus never told them to get rid of the swords. You know that we talk about tithes but you turn it to self-defense now, you telling me that self-defense is other issue, I know that it is you who turn the discussion in the other matters but not in the tithes. My argument there in my response to somebody really is about tithe it is you turn the discussion in somewhere else. You write: Tithe was more than Old Testament law it was a social custom of the time. It was used to pay tribute, show respect and to honor a person. FACT! My answer yes! In Old Testament but how about in the New Testament do you say that the people of New Testament did not show respect and honor because they don’t give tithes? WRONG! While the New Testament does not require tithes, it does not prohibit them. FACT! The New Testament prohibit it because we are not under the law, if you do part of the law why it is only the tithes and not all the matters of the law. Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. It is very clear that if you do the tithes you should not leave the other undone! Why it is only the tithes, we have to be consistent, if you do other matters of the law you should not leave the other undone! What is it the other matter of the law? Do not eat the pork and others, kill brother and sisters if you found them gathering stick in the day of Sabbath and more. Why other part of the law we are ready to reject except tithes you know why because its involve money. When paul wrote that we cannot justify by the law of moses did he exclude tithes? NO! The New Testament also stated that authority of receiving tithes is given to the Levites until now you cannot show me the scriptures that give you authority to receive tithes did you? Some People myself included pay tithes to honor God, to worship God, to pay tribute to God. FACT! It is not a teaching of Christ, did Christ say that we can worship Him in giving tithes no we have to follow the commandments of Christ and tithes is not His Commandments but by the law. Here are the new commandments of Christ: Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. It is not include tithes he never mentioned that love them with your tithes If the tithes really a requirements why Christ don’t have any single teaching about this? If the teaching is important Christ will continue teach that take a look at this verse: De 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Le 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. Christ tught it again in the new testament: Mt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. 38. Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But tithes He never teach that again. |

2 | Do you pay tithes on whole check or part | Acts 15:1 | EdB | 64629 | ||
Johnny I want to apologize for the terse answers this morning. I should not have responded I had other things on my mind. This is getting us nowhere. For some reason you can not understand that tithe is an act of worship not just something under the law. Tithing existed before the law. Yes tithing was included in the law but it was also done outside the law. I said I did not want to discuss the self defense issue. Not the fact that Abraham paid a tithe. Again no where did Jesus prohibit tithing he freed us from the law but as I have repeatedly tried to tell you not all tithing is done under the law. If you can't or don't understand that let's just stop here. EdB |
